Sacramento – Using $1.4 million from President
Obama's American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act),
three brand new buses were put in service today by Greyhound Lines, Incorporated.
The buses replace older buses that were less fuel efficient and environmentally
friendly.

"My Administration is working hand-in-hand with President Obama's
team to ensure stimulus dollars are pumped into California quickly and
responsibly to stimulate the economy and invest in the future of California's
transportation needs," said Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Each new bus can seat 51 passengers and is equipped with free WiFi and
state-of-the-art, on-board communications technology allowing real-time
tracking by Greyhound. The new buses provide transit service between San
Francisco and Los Angeles along three north-south corridors: U.S. Route
101, Interstate 5 (I-5) via Livermore and Hollywood, and
I-5 via Modesto and Fresno.

The buses are the second in the state to be delivered with Recovery Act
intercity rural transit funding. In October 2009, the Trinity County Department
of Transportation received two new 21-passenger paratransit buses purchased
with Recovery Act rural transit funding.
